Theories of Biology pg.1 The major theories of biology are evolution of natural selection‚ biological classification‚ inheritance‚ cells‚ bioenergetics‚ homeostasis‚ and ecosystems. Evolution by natural selection is a process that occurs over successive generations. Inheritance is a theory of how characteristics of one generation are derived from earlier generations. Cells theory is that all organisms are composed of cells and that all cells come from preexisting

Basic Biology Genetic diversity describes the genetic differences seen among members of a population. What this means that that every individual on the planet is different from one another in some way. This is because we have either high genetic diversity‚ or a low genetic diversity‚ which is seen through the size of the gene pool from which we came. If we happen to live in a gene pool that has a high concentration of genetic diversity‚ then we are more like to have many different genetic combinations

I have been inspired to pursue biology as a subject since my time at high school. During my GCSE stages of high school‚ I became fascinated by animal behaviour‚ ecology and evolution of different species and different organisms. Developing on from this‚ my current studies in applied science has enabled me to enjoy participating in practicals‚ working in a group‚ and working as an individual‚ having the opportunity to widen my experiences in practical sciences. I have particularly enjoyed scientific
